Earlier this week, I checked out one of the nicest W126s I’ve seen in a while with a 1987 560SEL. Today, we have another 1987 560, although this one is the brother car, the SEC. These big body coupes have been shooting up in value of late, but they are still well within reasonable range to grab at a decent price if you wish. Of course, color and condition are the biggest factor in what these sell for, but if you can find one that is well looked after and doesn’t carry a crazy price tag, then it is not a bad way to spend your money. If you are lucky enough to run across an example as nice as this C126 for sale in California, then I wouldn’t sleep on it at all.

In my opinion, very few modern Mercedes-Benz have any kind of collectible value. You buy them, get your use from them, then move on to the next car. Of course there are exceptions to everything and today’s vehicle is one of those. The W211 AMG estates, both in E55 and E63 guise, are now reaching cult-following status from Mercedes enthusiasts yet are valued by a more general audience, too. There are groups of people who search the country for these wild wagons in order to find the perfect one for them. This of course, is keeping values much higher than their sedan counterparts. However, this 2005 for sale in Sacramento is surprisingly on par with the sedan prices and actually the cheapest E55 estate I’ve seen come up for sale. Why you ask?

For sale is RARE(one of 129 imported in USA in 2005) Mercedes Benz E55 AMG WAGON with 175k miles.
This is a 2 owner Sport Wagon with Clean Carfax and Clean California Title in hand.
The original Window sticker was $96085 and is still available together with all original owners manuals.
This vehicle was well serviced at Mercedes Benz dealership and local Mercedes independent shop and comes with lots of service records. Just passed Smog inspection with Certificate available in hand.

Just to cut to the chase, this $13,900 E55 estate has just over 175,000 miles. Before you get too disappointed and write it off, hear me out for a second. I’m a full member of the “miles don’t scare me” club and this is a perfect example why. The M113K engine paired with the 722.6 gearbox has been tested through and through to prove it is a durable combination as long as you take care of them.…

The Mercedes-Benz 560SEC quickly went from another used, old Mercedes to a modern classic that everyone suddenly wants. Yes, the W126 coupes have always been more desirable than the sedans but recently a huge demand gap has grown between the two. Finding a coupe for sale at typical well-used Mercedes prices is rare or when you do find a really nice one, be prepared to shell out a lot of money. The latter is the case today for this 1991 offered for sale in California.

Put down your pitchforks and extinguish your torches, that’s not needed today for this Frankenstein creation. What is needed is a little bit of perspective and thought beyond what you initially see – a bagged car with a wild color wrap and bolt on fender flairs. Normally these things would be off-putting to most enthusiasts, but are the bones of this build sound? Let’s take a look at this W202 AMG for sale in California.
